A spokesman for the group, Occupy the Caucuses, says they arrived at Paul’s campaign headquarters to find the doors locked. She said protesters were arrested on charges of trespassing after they refused to leave.

Police had no immediate comment.

Thursday’s arrests came a day after police handcuffed seven Occupy protesters outside of Mitt Romney’s campaign headquarters in Des Moines.
